In his speech Li Hua spoke of an overseas Chinese student who couldn’t find a job because of his dishonesty. The story shows us that honesty really is the best policy.

After reading this speech, I felt really sorry for the student who had thrown away his years of hard work, great academic achievements and a promising future just for some short-term benefits.

Now, he knows better than anyone that dishonesty costs dearly.

My classmate Wang Tao once made a similar mistake. During a math quiz, he was having trouble working out a problem. When the teacher looked away, he peeked and copied the answer from his classmate. He was glad that he had a high mark in the quiz. But when he came across a similar question in the final exam, he didn’t know how to solve it and eventually failed the test.

While dishonesty helped him in the short term during the quiz, it hurt him in the long term because he didn’t revise that type of problem for the final exam. I shall always remember this lesson and be an honest person.

Version 2

Today I read an instructive speech, in which the speaker argues honesty is the best policy by telling the story of an overseas Chinese student who couldn’t find a job because of his dishonesty.

After reading this speech, I felt really sorry for the student who had ruined his own promising future just for some short-term benefits. On the other hand, I also thought it was correct to punish someone who had been dishonest.

I once read another story about dishonesty. In that story the author found himself alone in his headmaster’s office, where he accidentally found the writing contest paper. He was going to take part in the competition and so couldn’t resist the temptation to read it. As he prepared well beforehand, he won the first prize in the contest. But instead of feeling happy and proud, he felt guilty. This feeling started the moment he decided to read the paper and it followed him all his life.
